Getting older isn't just about arm flab or memory loss. It has its advantages like senior discounts or two for one at IHOP (between the hours of 4 and 6pm only). It's not much different than the terrible twos but without the spankings....that is unless you want one.

About Me

I am a 63 year old newly wed...I can't believe I'm saying that. After 34 years of being alone I married my best friend in the whole world on May 7, 2011. All good things are worth waiting for. My loving husband joined me as a primary caregiver to my 65 year old brother who has battled the disease of schizophrenia since he was 19 years old.
